By popular demand, here is the recipe for the Diples (THEE-ples) that I wrote about previously.
I just can't enjoy these without remembering my dear departed Thea (Aunt) Zanna. She made the best diples I've ever tasted. I have such fond memories of being invited to her house for coffee because I knew that she would make this very special treat for us. Regrettably, I never had the foresight to capture her recipe or technique before she passed.
In case you are not familiar with them, Diples get their name from the Greek word for "fold." They are thin sheets of dough that are folded while being fried into a crispy package that is then drizzled with honey and dusted with cinnamon and ground walnuts.
While I may not have Thea Zanna's recipe, I do have a wonderful recipe that has been adapted from the cookbook of the Ladies Philoptochos Society of Saint Sophia Greek Orthodox Church in Elgin, Illinois. Thank you Ladies!
